calculus - Evaluating suminftyk=1frac1k(3k1)

I am wondering if the sum
S=k=11k(3k1)

has an exact expression. And when I plugged it into Wolfram Alpha it spitted out:
S=\frac{1}{6}\Big(-\sqrt{3} π + 9 \ln(3)\Big)
I am wondering how is the answer obtained? Is there a simple way of not using math beyond second year university to arrive to that answer?
